The teaching faculty attends seminars and workshops organized by the Board of Studies to familiarize them with the revised syllabus and their suggestions are often sought and incorporated. Contribution of Teachers in Curriculum Design through Membership of Board of Studies and Membership of various Examination committees – • Ms S Bhagwat, Department of Microbiology was a co-opted member of BOS from 2005-10 and has Contributed to the syllabus design of TYBSc Paper IV and MSc Paper V, She suggested the introduction of 100 marks project at MSc Part II along with including Industrial and Pathology lab visits.

Inter – disciplinary programmes / activities started. Currently, the University of Mumbai has no provision for interdisciplinary courses.

Flexibility to the students to move from one discipline to another- At the entry level of the three year integrated degree course (first year), there is limited flexibility since after XII standard, the Commerce and Science students can join for the Arts degree, and Science students can also opt for Commerce. However, within the three years, the University offers no such flexibility. The students of any of the three faculties can opt for the Professional Courses at entry level. • Biological Sciences have always shown an interdisciplinary approach in their exchanges of common techniques and topics. Department of Microbiology, Zoology and Botany have the best-integrated approach with free access to the laboratory use for Biotechnological techniques and materials. Horticulture, an applied component at the TYBSc Biotechnology is presently taught with the active involvement of the Botany Department. • In case of professional courses like BMS, IT, BMM and BSc (Computer Science) their study link has been well–established. These programmes are not only operated in-houses but their interdisciplinary programmes have been conducted at Kaivalyadham, Lonavala from time to time. Department of Economics encourages students of BMM, BMS and BCom to participate in their annual prestigious event, ‘International Economic Convention’ organized by HSNC Board for all the colleges governed by it. The response has been spontaneous and positive at all times. • Science Association, an established forum of Science faculty, holds various activities and competitions involving the teachers and students of both degree and Junior college of the Science faculty.

Examination reformsChanges in the system designed by collegeExaminations Time table was set in such a manner that at least a day gap was arranged between consecutive papers of all classes of Aided and Unaided classes. These gaps are essential as the students do not get preparatory leave before examinations. In Examination Hall students belonging to different classes were arranged on the same bench so that the possibility of copying is reduced. Hall ticket as a Photo Identity is issued to all students for both erm end examinations. Although not a mandatory requirement but Mark sheet of first term examinations were issued to all students of Aided courses. A compact tabular Remuneration form was designed to calculate Examination Remuneration of Teaching and Non Teaching staff. This has simplified and accelerated the job of calculating Exam remuneration. Examiners were provided with Mark list for entering marks with Pre-Printed Examination seat Numbers. This has made the job of marks entry easy and flawless.

Every department conducts internal seminars/tutorials/periodic tests in addition to intensive coaching, prelims and term end exams (both practicals and theory) AutomationResult processing and preparation software has been prepared by the students of TYBSc IT Class as a part of their Final year project.
